Can you share a really terrifying scary folklore story?

Well, I heard about an embalmer in an old, run - down morgue. The place had a reputation for being haunted. One day, when he was embalming a body, he noticed that the body's eyes, which should have been closed, were half - open and seemed to be staring at him. He tried to close them again, but they kept reopening. As he continued with the embalming process, he felt like someone was watching him. He later found out that there had been some strange deaths in that morgue in the past, and the locals believed that the spirits of the dead lingered there.

A sailor once told a story. He was on a long voyage and they had a barrel of beer on board. One night, during a storm, the barrel started to shake violently on its own. When they opened it to check, a black mist rose from it. The sailors who were near the barrel at that time started to act strangely. They seemed possessed and kept repeating strange phrases. After that incident, no one on the ship dared to touch the remaining beer.

A man bought an old farmhouse. There was a locked room in the attic. Out of curiosity, he broke the lock. As he entered, it was freezing cold. He saw a rocking chair start to rock on its own. Then, he heard a child's laughter. He ran out of the room and never went back in. He later learned that a child had died in that room many years ago.

Sure. There was a skydiver whose parachute lines got tangled with another skydiver's. They were both struggling in the air, trying to separate the lines without causing either parachute to fail. It was a life - or - death situation as they spun around each other, praying that the parachutes would hold. Eventually, they managed to get free just before landing, but it was an extremely harrowing experience.

In a small village on Halloween, there was a legend about a witch who came back every year to steal a child. This year, a little boy named Billy didn't believe in the legend. He went out to play in the woods near his house. As he was playing, he noticed a strange mist. Out of the mist came an old woman with a crooked nose and a broom. She cackled and said she had been waiting for him. Billy tried to run, but she cast a spell that made his legs feel like lead. She grabbed him and took him to her lair in the heart of the woods. Billy's parents searched for him all night, but they never found him, and every Halloween since, people say they can still hear Billy's screams in the woods.

In a Metaspoon story, there was a small town that had a well in the middle of it. People started to notice that anyone who got too close to the well at night would disappear. A curious journalist decided to investigate. He set up cameras around the well. At night, the cameras caught a strange mist rising from the well. Then, a hand reached out and dragged one of his assistants into the well. The journalist later learned that the well was a gateway to a dark underworld, and the disappearances were sacrifices demanded by an ancient evil that lurked beneath the town.

There's a story about a very old and historic restaurant. One night, a group of friends were having a celebration there. As they were chatting and eating, the lights suddenly flickered. Then, they all smelled a strange odor, like something was rotting. One of the friends got up to find a waiter, but when he walked into the corridor, he saw a figure that looked like it was from a different era, all dressed in old - fashioned clothes. The figure disappeared when he blinked. The whole group left in a hurry and they could still smell that awful smell outside the restaurant. This story spread around town and made a lot of people afraid to go there.

A randonaut once ended up at an old factory. The moment they entered, they smelled a strange odor, like a mix of chemicals and decay. As they explored, they heard heavy machinery noises, but there was no machinery in sight. Then, they saw a pair of glowing eyes in the distance. They froze in fear, but when they blinked, the eyes were gone. They quickly made their way out, but they could still hear the noises long after they left.

There's a college campus with a large pond. It was rumored that a student had drowned there. On foggy nights, people walking by the pond would see a figure emerging from the water. It was described as a pale, wet figure that would slowly move towards the shore. Some students who were brave enough to get closer said they could hear a faint gurgling sound, as if the figure was still struggling underwater.

One of the scariest is the Goatman. In some parts of the United States, there are stories of the Goatman. It is a human - like figure with the head of a goat. It is often said to lurk in the woods near bridges or in abandoned areas. There are tales of people who have heard its bleating in the night and then been chased by this terrifying creature. Some believe it may be a demonic entity or some sort of mutant. The thought of being chased by a half - human, half - goat thing in the dark is extremely frightening.
